Fees to start experimenting with basic marketing techniques. This will include paying for HootSuite, purchasing buttons/stickers, and other small goods to help support increasing membership of the chapter and getting more involved in schools. I personally have a large book of ideas on how to cover this that includes guerrilla marketing techinques that put more emphasis on getting more bang for the buck for outreach purposes.: USD 500

General funds for small projects, small development expenses, and mixed appropriation. Nothing is certain on what to spend this amount on. This will go into being a safety net if we ever need to incur charges that are minuscule and are too small for another grant.: USD 500

Wikimania Takes Manhattan. This is a project of our own that will help raise awareness about the projects and be a major outreach event for us. This will cover fliers, food, and tents. USD 1000

This will ideally help discover how Wikimedia NYC as a chapter can help increase reach, participation, and gain credibility for the Wikimedia Foundation projects as we will be interacting more with the community we serve then we have done in the past.

If any changes comes because of this funding it will easily be measurable as we keep detailed statistics on social media influence and how many members we have. This project can be measured as a success if we become better able to manage general operational expenses, and are able to develop and pursue strategies needed for our longer-term existence as an organization. The overall success of these implementations can be done by self grading ourselves on how well we believe we have progressed from the start and to the end of the grant.
